Twelve Questions - IS A.A. FOR YOU?

Only you can decide whether you want to give A.A. a try and whether you think it can help you.

Answer YES or NO to the following questions:

Have you ever committed to stop drinking for a week or so, but only lasted for a couple of days?
Do you wish people would mind their own business about your drinking and stop telling you what to do?
Have you ever switched from one kind of drink to another – in the hope that this would keep you from getting drunk?
Have you had to have an eye-opener upon awakening during the past year?
Do you envy people who can drink without getting into trouble?
Have you had problems connected with drinking during the past year?
Has your drinking caused trouble at home?
Do you ever have “extra” drinks at a party because you do not get enough?
Do you tell yourself “I can stop drinking any time” – even though you keep getting drunk when you don’t mean to?
Have you missed work or school because of drinking?
Do you have “blackouts” (memory loss) when drinking?
Have you ever felt that your life would be better if you did not drink?

Did you answer YES four or more times? If so, you are probably in trouble with alcohol. Why do we say this? Because thousands of people in A.A. have said so for many years. They found out the truth about themselves — the hard way.
